BE: Chap 15

[Mark Kohut]

Money and sex: Maxine articulates late capitalism, linking it

capitalism
is a pyramid racket on a global scale"...P's take on "globalism"?

March, she gets puzzled- quizzically about her -ex as she quiz-puzzled

modern times it is harder to never be around one's -ex ever again? Some

p. 165 Maxine has to wolf-whistle a 28-foot runabout with a triple cockpit.

constant thematic take on developers,
